Two Weeks to Go!

I can’t believe there’s only two weeks to go until MARKED releases! In some ways this feels like my very first book, because it’s a new genre and new series. I’m just as excited for readers to get their hands on MARKED as I was when STOLEN FURY launched.

I got a great review today from Strictly Reviews. I won’t post the entire review (you can click the link to read the whole thing), but here are a few squee-worthy lines:

Marked by Elisabeth Naughton is one damn fine book for readers to add to their collection.

Couple Things

I’m late posting today because it’s my son’s 8th birthday. After running 5 miles this morning (I’m beginning my half marathon training for a race in June), we spent most of the afternoon at the ball field. Now he has a friend over (had his party yesterday) so I’m finally getting a chance to slow down. I’m tired already!

On to the couple things…

Today I’m visiting with Vivi Andrews about MARKED, my new Eternal Guardians series and lots of things in general. I’m also giving away an ARC of marked to one lucky commenter, so hop on over … Read more »

Riled Up

Dear Mr. Alexander,

I understand the media’s fascination with the whole Tiger Woods sex scandal. I respect your need to report about it and know that stories like this draw interest. I myself waited around this morning to hear the Today Show segment about the recent Vanity Fair article regarding Tiger’s mistresses. What I don’t respect, or understand, is your need to link a $1.37 billion dollar industry, one that comprises the largest share of the consumer fiction market at 13.5%, and the 74.8 million people who read romance novels to Tiger Woods and his scandalous affairs.

Thursday Craziness – RITAs, PLA & Shout Outs

Yes, LAST Thursday. I’m finally getting around to blogging about my crazy couple of days.

Thanks to everyone who sent me RITA® congrats the past few days. I have to say, Thursday was one of those whirlwind days that will live in my mind forever. Most days I get up, throw on sweats, write, take care of kids, write some more. Being an author isn’t the glamorous lifestyle most people think it is, but Thursday was that day for me.

It started at 8:15 in the morning when the phone rang. I was in bed, watching the Today Show, drinking … Read more »

Lucy Monroe’s Reader At Home Conference


If you haven’t heard of Lucy Monroe’s Readers at Home Conference yet, you are missing out!!! During the week of RT, Lucy is hosting a FANTABULOUS online conference for those readers who can’t attend RT. I have to admit, I was bummed when I realized RT conflicted with a prior family commitment and that I wouldn’t be able to attend after all. But now I won’t be missing out. I’m signed up as one of Lucy’s attending authors and I’ll be giving away an autographed Stolen Trilogy – Stolen Fury, Stolen Heat & Stolen Seduction. Check out all the … Read more »

Crazy Days, Links & Marked Arc Giveaway

It’s spring break here, which means my gremlins are home 24/7 until next Monday. I’m trying to get some writing done while they’re home, but it’s a struggle. Over the weekend we were here (see photo on right) at Black Butte Ranch in Central Oregon with friends who own a house there. Saturday the guys took the kids golfing (it was 66 degrees). Sunday my girlfriend and I took them snowboarding 15 miles up the road at the Hoodoo Ski Area. Where else but in Oregon can you go golfing one day and skiing the next, all within 15 miles … Read more »

Winner! (And Answers)

Thanks to all who played along yesterday. It was great to see all the answers (and comments!).

Most of you got the answers correct, so these are no surprise, but here they are “officially”:

1. Who is considered the greatest of the Greek heroes? HERACLES
(Yes, the roman name is Hercules, so I allowed that, but the Greek name is Heracles. And I hear some of you grumbling, “Eh, no. Achilles.” Valid argument, but not the one I was looking for (remember, I gave the hint it had something to do with MARKED. And Hercules/Heracles is mentioned in the … Read more »
